Definitions
- Testosterone the major circulating androgen in men, is synthesized from cholesterol. The approximately 500 million Leydig cells in the testes secrete more than 95% of the 6-7 mg of testosterone produced per day. Two hormones produced by the pituitary gland, luteinizing hormone (“LH”) and follicle stimulating hormone (“FSH”), are required for the development and maintenance of testicular function and negatively regulate testosterone production. Circulating testosterone is metabolized to various 17-keto steroids through two different pathways. Testosterone can be metabolized to dihydrotestosterone (“DHT”) by the enzyme 5 ⁇ -reductase or to estradiol (“E2”) by an aromatase enzyme complex.
- DHT dihydrotestosterone
- E2 estradiol
- Testosterone circulates in the blood 98% bound to protein. In men, approximately 40% of the binding is to the high-affinity sex hormone binding globulin (“SHBG”). The remaining 60% is bound weakly to albumin. Thus, a number of measurements for testosterone are available from clinical laboratories.
- the term “free” testosterone as used herein refers to the fraction of testosterone in the blood that is not bound to protein.
- total testosterone or “testosterone” as used herein means the free testosterone plus protein-bound testosterone.
- bioavailable testosterone refers to the non-SHBG bound testosterone and includes testosterone weakly bound to albumin.
- hypogonadism results from a variety of patho-physiological conditions in which testosterone concentration is diminished below the normal range.
- the hypogonadic condition is sometimes linked with a number of physiological changes, such as diminished interest in sex, impotence, reduced lean body mass, decreased bone density, lowered mood, and decreased energy levels.
- Primary hypogonadism includes the testicular failure due to congenital or acquired anorchia, XYY Syndrome, XX males, Noonan's Syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis, Leydig cell tumors, maldescended testes, varicocele, Sertoli-Cell-Only Syndrome, cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, vanishing testis syndrome, orchidectomy, Klinefelter's Syndrome, chemotherapy, toxic damage from alcohol or heavy metals, and general disease (renal failure, liver cirrhosis, diabetes, myotonia dystrophica). Patients with primary hypogonadism show an intact feedback mechanism in that the low serum testosterone concentrations are associated with high FSH and LH concentrations. However, because of testicular or other failures, the high LH concentrations are not effective at stimulating testosterone production.
- hypogonadism involves an idiopathic gonadotropin or LH-releasing hormone deficiency.
- This type of hypogonadism includes Kallman's Syndrome, Prader-Labhart-Willi's Syndrome, Laurence-Moon-Biedl's Syndrome, pituitary insufficiency/adenomas, Pasqualini's Syndrome, hemochromatosis, hyperprolactinemia, or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, radiation, or obesity. Because patients with secondary hypogonadism do not demonstrate an intact feedback pathway, the lower testosterone concentrations are not associated with increased LH or FSH levels. Thus, these men have low testosterone serum levels but have gonadotropins in the normal to low range.
- hypogonadism may be age-related. Men experience a slow but continuous decline in average serum testosterone after approximately age 20 to 30 years. researchers estimate that the decline is about 1-2% per year. Cross-sectional studies in men have found that the mean testosterone value at age 80 years is approximately 75% of that at age 30 years. Because the serum concentration of SHBG increases as men age, the fall in bioavailable and free testosterone is even greater than the fall in total testosterone. researchers have estimated that approximately 50% of healthy men between the ages of 50 and 70 have levels of bioavailable testosterone that are below the lower normal limit. Moreover, as men age, the circadian rhythm of testosterone concentration is often muted, dampened, or completely lost. The major problem with aging appears to be within the hypothalamic-pituitary unit.
- hypogonadism is the most common hormone deficiency in men, affecting 5 in every 1,000 men. At present, it is estimated that only five percent of the estimated four to five million American men of all ages with hypogonadism currently receive testosterone replacement therapy.
- the present invention relates to an improved transdermal hydroalcoholic testosterone gel formulation that provides, among other things, a desirable pharmacokinetic hormone profile, and methods of use.

- the subject may already have a diagnosis of hypogonadism and/or low testosterone at the time of administration, or be at risk of developing hypogonadism and/or low testosterone.
- the present invention preferably is for treatment of adult subjects over 18 years of age. Even more preferably the present invention is for treatment of adult subjects over 21 years of age.
- derivative refers to a compound that is produced from another compound of similar structure by the replacement of substitution of one atom, molecule or group by another.
- a hydrogen atom of a compound may be substituted by alkyl, acyl, amino, etc., to produce a derivative of that compound.
- the term “lower alcohol,” alone or in combination, means a straight-chain or branched-chain alcohol moiety containing one to about six carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the lower alcohol contains one to about 4 carbon atoms, and in another embodiment the lower alcohol contains two to about 3 carbon atoms. Examples of such alcohol moieties include methanol, ethanol, ethanol USP (i.e., 95% v/v), n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol.
- ethanol refers to C 2 H 5 OH. It may be used as dehydrated alcohol USP, alcohol USP, or in any common form including in combination with various amounts of water.
- the composition is used in a “pharmacologically effective amount.” This means that the concentration of the drug administered is such that in the composition it results in a therapeutic level of drug delivered over the term that the drug is to be used. Such delivery is dependent on a number of variables including the time period for which the individual dosage unit is to be used, the flux rate of the drug from the composition, for example, testosterone, from the gel, surface area of application site, etc. For testosterone, for example, the amount of testosterone necessary can be experimentally determined based on the flux rate of testosterone through the gel, and through the skin when used with and without enhancers.

- the surface area of the skin exposed to the formulation in the donor chamber was 0.64 cm 2 , and the receptor volume was 5.0 mL.
- Temperature was maintained at 37° C. with the help of a double water circulation jacket surrounding the lower part of the cell.
- the donor chamber was open on the top.
- Test formulations were spiked with 14 C labeled testosterone.
- Spiked radiolabeled) formulation (5-15 mg of gel containing 0.125-0.250 ⁇ Ci) was applied over the surface of the epidermis gravimetrically.
- Periodic samples (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 22 and 24 h) were taken from the receptor cell to measure the radioactivity/amount of drug permeated across the skin.
- the amount of radiolabel/drug remaining on the skin, in the skin samples was also determined. Further details of these experiments and results are presented in Example 2.
- % label permeated (% LP)
- % LP % label permeated
- the Pareto chart in FIG. 2 shows that the level of testosterone has significant negative effect, and the level of isopropyl myristate has a positive (not statistically significant) effect on % label permeated.
- the maximum level of testosterone in gel formulation should be less than highest level studied. This analysis also suggests that the maximum level of isopropyl myristate in gel formulation should be close to the highest level studied.
- values of T, IPM and EtOH are selected from within the ranges given below such that the above algorithm gives a Ratio CAR value greater than 1, preferably greater than 1.1, or most preferably greater than 2.
- the ranges are: between 1.0 and 2.0% (w/w) testosterone, preferably between 1.15 and 1.8% (w/w) testosterone; between 0.2% and 2.0% (w/w) isopropyl myristate, preferably between 0.6 and 1.2% (w/w) isopropyl myristate; and between about 60.0% and 80% (w/w) alcohol 95% v/v, preferably between about 72.5% and 76.1% (w/w) alcohol 95% v/v.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate estimated response (Ratio CAR) for a given combination of testosterone and isopropyl myristate at an alcohol 95% v/v level of 74.3 %(w/w).
- Three selected testosterone gel formulations have higher viscosity ( ⁇ 4,000 cps) than control formulation.
- Formulations were prepared and supplied by Solvay Pharmaceuticals. Testosterone ( 14 C) was procured from American Radiolabeled Chemicals Inc, (St Louis, Mo.). All other chemicals and reagents were procured from approved vendors and were of highest quality and purity available.
- the transdermal diffusion cell apparatus used in this study holds up to 9 diffusion cells in series and the receptor fluid is stirred by the magnetic bead at 600 rpm.
- Percutaneous absorption in vitro was studied quantitatively with human skin placed in the Franz diffusion cell. The skin was mounted horizontally between the donor and receptor halves of the diffusion cell. The surface area of the skin exposed to the formulation in the donor chamber was 0.64 cm 2 , and the receptor cell volume was 5.0 ml.
- the receptor compartment was filled with phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4 (PBS) and propylene glycol (1:1) and gentamicin sulphate (50 ⁇ g/ml).
- PBS phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4
- propylene glycol (1:1) and gentamicin sulphate 50 ⁇ g/ml.
- a double water circulation jacket (37° C.) surrounds the receptor cell in order to have the skin temperature maintained at physiologic level.
- the donor chamber was open towards the external environment, thus exposing the surface of the skin to the surrounding air of the laboratory.
- the relative humidity (RH) of the experimental area was monitored for every experiment and this was found to be in the range of 35 to 45% for all the experiments.
- Human skin (thigh region) dermatomed to 0.3 mm thickness was obtained from a tissue bank (US Tissue and Cell, Salt Lake City, Utah) from cadavers. The skin was collected within 8 h of donor death and frozen in 10% w/v glycerol in normal saline. The skin was stored at ⁇ 80° C. until use. Skin from two different donors was used in the experiments. Each experiment was carried out with each formulation for at least 6 times using the skin from one donor. The skin permeation data of formulations was compared with that of permeation of 1% marketed gel (in 6 replicates) tested on the skin of same donor as test formulations and all data were normalized to the reference (marketed) formulation.
- Radiolabeled Testosterone 14 C, specific activity 50-60 mCi/mmol was used for this purpose. This is supplied by American Radiolabeled Chemicals and is 99.5% pure as ascertained by HPLC.
- Radioactive gels were prepared in order to apply 0.125 to 0.250 ⁇ Ci in a minimum amount of the gel that spreads 0.64 cm 2 of the diffusion area of Franz cell (0.64 cm 2 ). The minimum quantity was at least 5.0 to 15.0 mg.
- An appropriate amount of radioactive testosterone (12.5 ⁇ Ci per 125 ⁇ l of ethanol) was evaporated in a round bottom flask until the solvent is completely evaporated to dryness. To this flask, 500 mg of cold gel formulation was added and vortexed for 5 minutes and allowed to equilibrate over night (12 to 16 h). This gel was further vortexed for 30 minutes to obtain homogenous gels. Homogeneity of the formulation's radioactivity was determined by the counting level of 9 exactly weighted ( ⁇ 5 mg) samples (standards).
- the frozen skin was thawed to room temperature by keeping the skin at ambient temperature for about 30 to 45 minutes. This was then rinsed with water to remove glycerol. The skin was then put in PBS pH 7.4 and gently agitated in a shaker (100 rpm) for 20 min to remove traces of glycerol. The washed skin was mounted on the cells approximately 30 minutes before the application of the formulations.
- the formulation (5 to 15 mg) was applied over the surface of the epidermis gravimetrically using a syringe (for each determination sufficient gel was dispensed to cover the test surface and the weight of the gel dispensed was determined). Periodic samples were taken from the receptor cell to measure the amount of drug transporting across the skin (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 22 and 24 h).
- the application area was then wiped with a cotton wool stick (Q-tip).
- the washings, cotton stick and the donor cell were collected in 20 ml of ethanol and allowed to extract all radioactivity in to ethanol.
- the exposed area was collected by a biopsy punch. To account for lateral diffusion, lateral portions of skin were collected and counted for radioactivity to account for Mass balance for the experiments.
- the skin of the active diffusion area as well as the lateral skin were minced into pieces with a pair of sharp point dissecting scissors (Sigma) and digested for extraction of radioactivity, with 3 ml of Soluene 350TM (PACKARD) for overnight.
- results were expressed in quantities or in percentages of applied testosterone, found in the different compartments. Applied quantities of testosterone were determined from the counting levels of diluted standards. Each result represents the mean value of 6 experimental determinations and is associated with its standard error of mean.
- the mean flux of testosterone permeated was calculated from the slope of the linear portion of the Q versus time plot and expressed as ⁇ Ci/cm2/h
- Table 14 shows that formulations F45, F47, F52, F53, F54 and F55 permeate significantly lower amount of testosterone than F56 (P ⁇ 0.001).
- F41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 50, 51 the permeated amounts appear to be lower than F56.
- the difference between these formulations and F56 were not statistically significant (P>0.05).
- F49 permeated higher than F56 but the difference between these two formulations were not statistically significant (P>0.05).
- the mass balance data indicate variable levels of skin retention of testosterone. Furthermore, this data also demonstrates that the total mass balance is in between 90 to 110% of the initial quantity of 14 C Testosterone applied (Table 14).
- Constraints for Flux studies The studies conducted here were based on a finite dose kinetics where the rate limiting step is amount of gel used. Due to our using a finite dose, a non-linear permeation profile was obtained for most of the formulations which made us difficult to calculate the steady state flux. Nevertheless, a 2-10 h time points were used to calculate the flux values which is an assumption of a linear progression of flux but in actuality, the steady state was not achieved in these experiments. Hence the AUC values are a better representation to compare the formulations than flux values.
